    Charles never dreamed of working in a video game company．“It all started by accident(偶然)，”he said．“One of my friends worked for a video game company．He knew how much I loved games，and he told me about a job．It sounded like fun．”It was a job as a video game tester．

    When a video game company has a new game，they give it to testers．Testers play the game and look for bugs(程序错误)in it．The company wants to find and fix all the bugs before they sell the game．

    Video game testers need to have good computer skills．They need to understand how computers work．Charles did not have great computer skills when he went for the job interview(求职面试)，so he was nervous．However, the interviewers said，“That's OK．We can teach someone to use a computer, but we can't teach someone to love games．”
